Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Completion of NowCardio Field Audit

 

On November 26 and 27, 2015, Contex International Technologies (Canada) Inc., the engineering firm engaged by Event Cardio Group, Inc., to develop its NowCardio® heart monitor, completed  a Stage 2 Audit, last of a series of audits, conducted by the registrar BSI Group Canada Inc.  No non-conformances were noted in the audit, and the Company anticipates that Contex will receive ISO 9001 and ISO 13485/CMDCAS Certificates in the coming weeks. These certificates are required to apply to Health Canada for certification of the NowCardio® System as a Class II Medical Device, and furthermore, to license manufacturing and distribution within Canada. In addition to obtaining the ISO/CMDCAS Certificates, Contex must also submit the NowCardio® device to an outside lab for regulatory testing. NowCardio® has already passed interim testing of development prototypes at the lab.

 

The Company expects that Contex will receive the ISO/CMDCAS Certificates by the end of the year at which time it will make the submission to Health Canada. Although there can be no assurances, the Company currently anticipates that it will receive the necessary approvals and be authorized to sell NowCardio® in Canada in early February 2016.

 

Dispute with Medpac

 

On November 25, 2015, the Company received a notice from Medpac Asia Pacific Pty Ltd. alleging that the Company was in default of representations and covenants contained in the Subscription Agreement dated April 27, 2015, whereby Medpac purchased the Company’s $500,000 Convertible Note. Specifically, the notice alleges that the Company did not have the authority to grant sublicenses with respect to certain territories as to which Medpac was to acquire rights and that the Company has failed to pay to the engineers engaged to develop NowCardio® and a production line for Breastcare® the amounts required by the Subscription Agreement. The notice requested payment of the monies due on December 30, 2015.

 

The Company believes that it had the necessary authority to grant the rights intended to be granted to Medpac and that it has made the required payments to its engineering firms. Consequently, there is no basis for the allegation that it is in default of its obligations to Medpac. The Company is currently in discussion with Medpac to resolve these issues but, if they are not satisfactorily resolved, intends to contest them vigorously.

 

 

Dispute with Life Medical

 

On November 30, 2015, the Company received a notice from Life Medical Technologies, Inc., alleging that it is in default of its obligations under the License Agreement between the Company and Life Medical. Specifically, Life Medical alleges that the $500,000 received from Medpac in consideration of the Convertible Promissory Note issued to Medpac in April 2015 constitutes an advance royalty and that a portion of the funds were to be paid to Life Medical. In addition, Life Medical alleges that the Company or its licensee has failed to expend the requisite amounts necessary to maintain exclusivity in certain of the countries which are the subject of the agreements between the Company and Medpac and therefore, the Company is no longer entitled to retain these territories and is obligated to pay Life Medical amounts provided for in the License between Life Medical and the Company.

 

The Company believes Life Medical’s claim regarding the monies received from Medpac has no merit and that, among other things, it is entitled to offset against any amounts that may be due Life Medical amounts that it has paid to creditors of Life Medical. Further, the Company believes that it and Medpac have paid the amounts necessary to maintain the rights to distribute BreastCare® in Australia and that, among other reasons, the failure of the parties to due to develop a manufacturing line to produce the BreastCare® device has extended the Company’s and Medpac’s obligations to expend funds in furtherance of the marketing of the device in Australia. If Life Medical pursues its claims, the Company will defend them vigorously and pursue any counterclaims it may have against Life Medical for actions which it believes were intentionally intended to interfere with the Company’s attempts to raise the financing necessary to advance its products.

 

Julie Singleton

 

The Company had previously announced that Julie Singleton, an investor in MedPac, had agreed to serve as the CEO of its BreatCare Division and as a member of its Board of Directors. In light of the current dispute between the Company and Medpac, Ms. Singleton will not be serving in either of such positions.
